Hey all,

First post. Anyway, I have this bad habit of buying tea in bulk, probably more than I can drink at any one time. (Although when I’m in period where I’m drinking a lot of tea, I go through it way faster than should be realistic for a human.)

So I was wondering about tea storage and what everyone does for it. Part of the tea drinking experience for me is opening the tins and having the tea in tins. I don’t know why. I really like Teavana tins, unfortunately, as they are way too expensive, the 8 ounce ones that are round. They have a certain size that works really well for me, and I like everything to be kind of uniform. (God, I sound crazy here.) The dimensions are: 6.5 inches tall and 3.25 inches in diameter. It occurred to me I could look that up.

What do other people do? Also, does anyone know of any cheaper tins that work well? I’d love to support another company, but I strongly dislike the Adagio 8 ounce tins. (I had one come to me broken… and since then, they just feel fragile to me. And even if the tops are UV coated, I just don’t think they will work as well.)

This post sounds really awkward. I’m kind of awkward, especially over the internet at first when I’m learning to interface with a new community. But also, I’m pretty ill and a bit feverish, and I’m sure my writing is whacked right now. I’m sorry about that.

And feel free to add anything else. Also, I hope making this thread isn’t a problem. I went back a few pages to see if there was a current discussion on this topic, but as I said, I’m totally out of it. I hope I’m not being redundant.
